Seeing as Auni reckons he is faster than everyone .. I wonder if we will get challenged to race him at least once rofl
OH that would be cool
Who knows, maybe they'll add a way to get cat ears and Boom ,catman
i like cats
You're lucky Rin is sleeping.
Not even headbands?
He too gets to play a human
Cat eared headbands?
will it be on switch?
TBD
Okay thank you! :D
Ok see you all in 3 years I shall return
And any updates of the release date ?
Their goals are as many platforms as they can but non other than pc are confirmed and mobile being high priority
Setting a reminder for 3 years, if you don't show up - I will find you.
Deal
Less than 3 years with alpha being first half next year
Time to wait for Sanad, then
hard to say .. when someone else asked I looked it up and Unreal Engine 4 isn't compatible with Switch and Palia is currently designed with UE4. So, if they don't upgrade before release you may have to wait.
Ah okay thank you!
Take care on your perilous journey
If this happens, my character will definitely be wearing them 🙂
This is acceptable
Although I have to determine if my character would wear them or not
Will need more than just cat eared headbands; need a litter box too... right... right?
NO CATS
Chapaa headbands?
This proves acceptable
Don't forget the tail!
lol Chapaa headbands would be adorable
WHOA! Where's my pointy hat?!
Whiskers and paws, the whole shebang
As long as the character is a human in an outfit this proves acceptable
Actually .. I may be wrong .. just found another site that says otherwise ( https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/launch-your-game-on-the-nintendo-switch-with-unreal-engine-4-16 ) .. so after browsing on UE site for more info ... found this on their faq page ( https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/faq ) Unreal Engine enables you to deploy projects to Windows PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, macOS, iOS, Android, AR, VR, Linux, SteamOS, and HTML5. You can run the Unreal Editor on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
!!! oh like those big fluffy mitten paws ? XD
Ye XD
Those hats that have paws
Isn't Unreal a brand new system?
Nah UE has been around for a long time, depends on version
No, it's been around a while. UE5 is their next version
Oh man, Sandre now you're getting my hopes up and I'm imagining my character cuddled up on the couch in her house in a full comfy cat ensemble lol
Oh, I'm not up to date with things UE5 is probably what I've seen
Ha! Hot chocolate on the table, fireplace
Then a chapaa runs in and destroys everything
XD
You know 3D pinball? That’s unreal
Maybe?
Yeah that’s very new
even that might not be available, at least at launch Illummise — 06/04/2021 How diverse will the character creation aspect be? i.e. multiple eyes, purple skin, etc. [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 We want people to be able to have enough variety to feel like the persona they're playing as can be created, but we are still sticking to humans in our art style at least for now

Unreal Engine 4
My heart sank when i saw that it shared the same crappy animations in the gameplay :’)
Gotcha, merci buckets
It ain't forknife tho
I hope it’s just that one animation that looked similar
I reaaaaaally hope so
😂
Probably coincidence XD
The mind will look for similarities on its own even if there are none
What animation though? I imagine a lot of generic animations look similar from game to game such as waving.
a hand waving ? That will likely be the same in almost every 'wave' animation 🤣 It's early days .. if you're really concerned you can pop a suggestion/feedback comment in the #game-suggestions channel explaining your concerns 🙂
Alpha next year?? Does that mean available to all or another closed testing phase?
Closed
I mean personally no, i just thought HANG ON that looks familiar. It was my friend who actually said it was identical to the fortnite x)
More than pre alpha, not to all
Sorry to interrupt and also hi everyone ☺️
Another closed testing wave with more people than pre-alpha but still only a portion of the people
oooh good to know thank you both!!
I mean the thingy with the hand glider animation, it’s the same as the one in fortnite
It’s not a concern, i just haaaaate that game so when i noticed the similarity i died a little inside, but it’s in no way going to change my experience with palia or my excitement for it x)
oh I don't know .. I would assume launching a glider would be the same but I haven't used gliders so don't know if other games have done it different
If it helps cactus...the paraglider reminded me of botw which is an awesome game :p
Reframe the narrative 😂
I mean I’d imagine it’s hard to make a pull out glider animation “unique” if there’s no need to make it unique
If you want a tony hawk kick flip glider pull out trick shot I guess you can but if a generic motion is there, take it and go with it, you know?
+180 points
Botw is great, x) though the little goblin dudes at the start annoyed me so much bc there’s no way to fight them
All you can do is poke their butt with a stick and run
What is Botw?
Breath of the wild, zelda
Oh breath of the wild nvmd
Yeah Zelda the princess girl
is good game
XD
That bowser keeps taking
Yup. That’s the one. 
Great now i want kick flip gliders
You’re welcome xD
Just what i needed 😂
You’re mixing up videogames and it hurts my soul
Is just a joke.
Just know it was a joke and I know the difference
:P
But also why Luigi has a sword and shield, throwing bombs and picking up rubies? I’ll never know
Ugh i’m really excited for three games to come out, one’s palia which seems promising after the recent announcement, one’s concerned ape’s new project which has literally no estimate on progress, and the other is ES6… but that’s bethesda… and welp…
:’)
Hello, haven't chatted in here for a while. Was wondering if Palia would be running on UE4 or UE5.
They’re on 4 ^^
Ue4
I forgot UE5 was a thing.
ah okay
I feel almost bad for Concerned
good night people
He’s bloody amazing
How do you follow up Stardew? It’s like that saying never do your best right away
Night Vitus
I love stardew
Same, extraordinary game
Yeah exactly, idk how he can top it
I've been eyeing this one and SunnySide
Night bud ^^
Sleep well :)
The only upgrade i could suggest for stardew
Is letting the kids grow up to a slightly older age and actually be able to help out with a random task around the farm
I've never played stardew but I've heard great things about it
Like, even the kids in Skyrim are more immersive, and that is a MUCH less wholesome game 😂
It do be bloody fantastic, esp when you consider one man did it all
And in a really short time, no less
Dang so in the same boat as Undertale but with money involved
All these sans stans
Same, I just watched people play it, I love the pacifist route
The first game I saw that implemented a feature of not fighting mobs and it was fun
Oh yea also the animal crossing update looks hecking great, anyone here play?
It’s soon 👀
BREWSTER IS FINALLY COMING
I play new leaf on the new 2ds
😎✌️
I don't think I've seen him, I didn't dedicatedly play
Also hello
Yes I am not an animal crossing player, XD
Alright dears, time for me to check out for the night! I will see you all at a later time! Enjoy the rest of your day! 
Have a good night!
Gnnnnn
Oh, I'm talking about an older game
🤔 Lemme check the name real quick
Wild world is the game
I saw new leaf somewhere and thought that was the game, XD
My bad!
I probably angered animal crossing people....
You’re in good company here, no worries~
Am probably gonna stop lurking for the day. I hope everyone has a good weekend!!! Bye~ 
Have a great weekend!
:)
Well...
Hi Wippit
howdy
I finally reposted my question to the submission channel!
...well...
What’s up Wippit ?
Oh, just having a day...
Oh dear 
Good night yall!
Doing good, I hope work goes well!
thank ya, i hope so too! 😅
Just woke up and finished reading the Q&A. Oh no... The mangoes aren't confirmed yet. 
have faith in mangoes…
wooo
i asked all my things i wanted to ask and or metnion and or point out and or know lol
And yes, they do read suggestions 🙂
Hi everyone, I haven't checked in for a very very long time. Did the concept of the game change a lot? It seems completely different from the last content I saw.
wdym
Not that I am aware of .. the different art might be a bit confusing .. they post up early concept art as well as in game screen shots or clips.
Maybe I have it confused with another game in development!
Glad to see things are coming along nicely 🙂
Yeah maybe 🙂
is the game's business model determined yet btw?
I was not paying much attention to this game for a while
@dry rose No, at the moment anything regarding monetarisation and in game economy is very limited until they are ready to talk about it.. but there was something recently answering a question on twitter .. I'll get the link for you - Link: https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1443644204618420236
Hi Snappie 
They have said back in June that some areas of the games development may involve surveys with us to help them decide .. maybe this area will be one of them. But too early in the development to make that decision yet. [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 If I get my way, yes! But the community helps prioritize new features as much as anyone. Fill out surveys when you get them! Granted they are talking about features .. but it may still be relevant.
man i cant wait for this game!
Just finished reading through the new questions. Yall still asking how much it'll cost? xD
It will cost... likely 20 years of my life. And it will be completely worth it.
im so worried about the whole if its gonna be a sub/free game
With all the various thoughts on it I wouldn't be surprised if they are struggling to find a single option that suits a large portion of the potential customer base.
most likely will not be free though, or at least thats how its feeling
I understand that worry and curiosity. But it would likely be a bad move on their part to state a number right now. A few years to actually get the game out there? A promise right now would lock them in.
But we are still 2 years + away from the game coming close to finishing development so it may be hard to put a price on the game until it is at least closer to completion
to be honest i'm most likely gonna be playing another vrmmo by the time the alpha comes around
mmos take around 5-6 years on average to develop . they're only half way through that cycle
alot of people probably will be too .. while they wait for this one to come out .. considering only a percentage of the people will get in alpha - others are finding it hard to find a game to fill the spot that Palia will rofl
i didnt know it would be 2 or more years
that makes me immeansly sad
scuse my fail at spelling
Oh, it's always been 'much less than 3 years' since we were made aware in June .. the dev who said that has made a revised answer but still the same time frame - #💬│palia-discussions message
I was hoping for something more soon i'm coming from orbus and am bored playing it
Oh I see, you never asked that question before .. was surprised you didn't know
😢
There is a reason for letting us know about the game alot earlier than usual .. [S6] Neleimour — 06/04/2021 We've chosen to test this early because we want to make sure we're building things that are making you all excited to keep playing.
If you experience excitement for longer than four months, consult a doctor.
It will be 5 months in 6 days. And 7 ate 9.
wowser
where'd the off-topic channel go 
#💬│off-topic-chat moved to just below this channel
... ok 
Yea. I guess that'll make it just a bit better to find it
Goodnight friendos!
Aye, goodnight!
Goodnight all, off to watch telly with the son, enjoy your chat, see you sometime tomorrow.
Aye, goodnight once again!
Well, think I'll head off to bed now .. night all

Read up on #❓│old-team-answers-alpha ! So, Eshe and the rest of the purble elves are the "Majiri"!
By the way, they mentioned expanding the world.. I've been thinking about fish people, waiting patiently for fish to arrive

Oh, this is excellent!
that's great news!
Micros might be an option as well. A lot of games make a ton of money off cosmetics, and this game will focus on appearance.
When is the game will release?
Less than 3 years, alpha is a few months away and a test alpha has recently finished.
I think this question would be a deal breaker for myself and others. Will there be player tethering and will the game be region locked?
(Ty for answering if you do!)
Player tethering?
hi guys
Aye, heya!
good morning pals! 
Sorry for the late answer. The game isn't region locked, but there might be some restrictions placed on play based on how far away you are from whoever you're playing with, for the sake of network performance.
There's a couple of docs in the pins (little thumbtack icon in the top right) that might answer any more questions you have! One is a summary of what we know about the game (my doc) and the other is a compilation of answers from devs in the now-defunct #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha (Vlad's doc), though that document is no longer updated
I really hope there isn't tethering :/, what use is an open world game without having to be 5ft away from your partner every step of the way and getting teleported to them if you aren't. I really hope this isn't the case with palia.
Sorry, what's tethering exactly? If I know what you mean, I might be able to answer
Oh, do you mean like in those dungeon crawler coop games where you instantly teleport if you step too far out of range? Or like how in Destiny 2 you get teleported if you're too far behind the objective?
Tethering as in being a certain proximity away from the person you're playing with, so the game teleports you to them, like in farcry 6 for example
Yup I think I understand
This in effect yes.
A game which doesnt have tethering for ex would be gta
I don't think anything has been said about it specifically, but I can't imagine the devs would put in something so counterintuitive to their game! It might be worth asking in #851872239435644928, but I really, really don't think it'll be in Palia.
The only times in an MMO I can think of when you would do tethering would be in a dungeon, and Palia doesn't really have those to our knowledge (although there might be similar things in the future)
Good morning yall!
I wouldn't mind having a 'follow' option so a buddy could lead you around, but I don't think I'd like getting teleported against my will. I still haven't fully forgiven Captain Picard for that.
I've never seen an MMO with tethering
Maybe ff14 if you've lagged way too far back during a cut scene
destiny 2 does it but only in instances like strikes and stuff (which are like your standard mmo dungeon) if you've fallen way behind your party, as far as i know
Destiny 2 👁️
As long as it's not in the game i'll happily be playing palia everyday 😃
yeah lemki correct me if im wrong on any of this im a d2 newbie
Yeah! We all will!
Hope I could help :)
You've been a lot of help, thanks mate!
Aussie aussie aussie?
oi oi oi

Ayyy! Chapaaween!
Yattaaaaaa
cool
I wonder if any of the mini-games will be crafting related in a way similar to the old MMO Free Realms? I remember the mining was a not-terribly-exciting matching game, but smelting I think had an element of skill. You had to pour your molten metal carefully so you didn't spill it and could actually make full ingots. That stuck with me as something more engaging than WoW's "click button and walk away from computer" Certainly not as convenient, though, so maybe a way to opt out of it would be good too.
I feel like cooking would almost certainly have a minigame, right...?
Hah, maybe they'll just straight up put cooking mama in
Cooking in-game will definitely be one of the things I'll be looking forward to doing. I hope we can have a good source of 🍯, as well.
I want to amass a large amount of 🍯 jars. 
EitrJade secretly bear?
is there a town hall thing for neighbourhoods, that can be built with cosmetic items from competitions?
and acts as a trophy room
I definitely want a potion-making mini-game! Sounds nice :3
I'll be a real witch! Finally! x3
cool
is palia free to play?
hope so
Hello ! it’s been a long time since I’ve popped onto the server
How is everyone doing?
Doing well.
Also lil Burundo, they aren't discussing how much or even what type of monetization method they'll be using. The game's still a ways off being released.
How you doing Misty?
I actually am hoping to be able to sew/create/find a bear costume in the game. It'll be one of the few things I'm looking forward to owning. 🐻
Ooooo that'd be really awesome 😮 Me too!
Probably won't be high on the Devs to-do list, but still crossing my fingers to somehow be able to own one. 
You should ask or suggest if we're allowed to have animal costumes 😮
Imagine being able to laze around your home in a bear costume, go farming, and collecting honey.
Hello mortals
Yo Demi God
Hello everyone, how's it going?
I'm new and happy to be here among all the fans.
Just found out about the game on a YouTube channel and I wanna know, is there any way to play the pre-alpha?
There's is a way definetly to sign up to try
I already signed up my Email on the Palia website. Is that all I need?
Yep now is the waiting game
Patience is the greatest virtue.
Or was it hmmm
the pre alpha has already ended. Now we're waiting for the alpha that was said to be happening in the first half of the next year (check out the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha , just got a new batch of them yesterday). There will probably also be other small scale tests, so if you're signed up you have a chance to be a part of them too.
The emperor approves
Thank you 🙏
It would be weird if that's end of it tho, there's definetly gonna be more tests in future
Hi so it said the pre alpha has ended, how come there's no videos of the gameplay? 👀
It could be better, but it's not quite good enough.
there's a little snippet of it in the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🐦│social-feed . you can also see some of the footage of it there. Most of it is also still under NDA though
Well there's a good video on youtube that covers up great info about this game
thank you!
Howdy
Hi
all Palia peeps.
hey
Heading out to go camping...will catch up with everyone tomorrow when I get back. Hope everyone has a great Palia weekend and a safe and spooky Halloween! 😄
Enjoy your camping trip 
@fallen summit Hopefully you have more time to art soon, this here was legitimately one of my favorite fan arts I've seen 😄 #🎨│old-palia-fan-art message
aaaw, tysm, really appreaciate it! At the moment I'm busy with college work, but I'll probably take some time for art during the winter holidays 
Don't let the bears eat your marshmallows!
👋
I love when the jurassic park theme randomly pops into my head
how is everyone?
hello all
Mate do you even get sleep?
rofl yeah I get a few hours
Its suggested that you should have atleast 8 hours of sleep everyday!
Like atleast get that amount until Palia comes out xD
Ah appreciate it
goodnight
sir
and to you sir/madame/neither/both/attack helicopter
Ahhaha
not meant to be transphobic
same but 15
I have never got 8 hours in a single sleep session .. I average 5 to 7 hours depending on how sleepy I am rofl
🤣
I'm not a morning person .. so I don't usually surface until about 10am sometimes later .. but then I am up to between 2am and 5am.
man im tired, just got home from work not too long ago, 11 hour shift definitely better than the 13 the other day haha
is the launch date known? or any news?
sometime less than 2 1/2 years from now
no wait, its less than 2 years and 7 months i think
No release but we will get Alpha in first hlaf of 2022
ohh still so long 😦 cant wait for this game
We all are waiting but better let devs make good game than getting some buggy crap instead (Sorr about CyberPunk 2077 from Polish man) Am I right?
hi Perin
hi Nootk
hi Pina 
Hi Xrystal 
howdy!
how are you talliah?
Ooooo so many good questions in the #851872239435644928 :0. I would have never thought to ask half of them, but definitely interested if the answers.
Doing good so far :) got the candy ready for any trick or treaters and doing dishes lol
(and that's just a glimpse of the oh do adventurous life I lead XD)
And also alot that are already answered in the various channels and pinned documents
Yeah I saw that
Hi Xrystal, Perin, Vitus and also everyone else 
hi KJ 🙂
I would love to respond to them and be like 'look here! But I don't want to clutter the channel lol
ooh that reminds me, i have some dishes i should wash lol... oh and laundry, ugh im too lazy right now haha
howdy kinjerry 🙂
XD I wonder if we will have dishes and laundry in palia
nah .. we just discard them rofl
or they clean themselves rofl
or they just never get dirty rofl
With Thanksgiving around the corner (for US) and cooking being a thing in the game, it's got my mind thinking of all kinds of ideas for community dinners/gathering and holiday celebrations
well i know who im going to visit often if theres food to be had 😏 🤣
The more the merrier! I would love to be part of an RP neighborhood and be like a bed and breakfast owner or the town party planner!
*note to self, suggest party and holiday decorations to devs!
Bye for now Palia Peeps, enjoy your chatting, logging off for now.
yo!:D
Later Sandy ^^
im back B)
Wb Vitus :)
Good ^^. Letting my mind get creative while I do dishes.... So many dishes
How's your day Vitus?
Like cookin or?
Pretty good, went to copenhagen and ate a delicious gourmet burger
Ooooo that sounds yummy. I haven't had a really good restaurant burger in a while. :)
Yeah it was a while since i last had one too
Yo Talliah if you could choose any superpower what would it be
ability to create and use the created superpowers
Oooh
Oi? Shouldnt you be in bed?
Sleeping!??
I think now is about the neutral time when pretty much most people are still awake 
Yeah but he said goodnight ealier:)
Oh, didn't see that. Well, then probably yes 
Hahaha
I am still alive! Hello
HEY SANDRE:D
pretty good im considering writing a little story to my tavern
Neat! If that's possible to have your own tavern that would be fun to decorate and do things with.
Have fun!
thanks
Ooohs sorry had to step away a bit! Hmm....... Healing.
I always play healers in games, so I would want ot be able to heal people.
Thats pretty cool
I am doing good. Still tired but that's my fault
I love using bow and arrow in games
Why?
My imagination runs too wild at night and i can't sleep
Yeah, my brain is active .. probably the creative brain we have rofl
I found a trick to help me though .. if I know I am gonna have problems and I need to get up at a reasonable time the next day ... I usually put on a program that I have watched a gazillion times so I can don't have to watch it . I usually fall asleep in 30 minutes that way if not sooner rofl
Palia players will be known for their creativity!!!!:D
That's how I started! I always played rangers/archers, and then a group needed a healer one time and I never went back ❤️
Noice
That is a good way to do it
hi Rin
my bedtime brain has two modes: depression/anxiety or WRITE WRITE WRITE
I'll be known for SCREENSHOTS
im not even a writer
yES
I just need to know what the screenshot method will be because I don't know the built in screenshot method in computers
oh Rin, Whoa gave us an update to his release time window ( same time window, just a new quote rofl ) Jabaay — Today at 9:32 PM when is this game coming out? [S6] WhoaNonstop — Today at 9:33 PM Less than 2 years and 7 months
Link: #💬│palia-discussions message
true
A minute later... dang XD
he had it ready
Yup ahaha
yeah he does that sort of thing rofl
I wonder if Whoa is going to keep going less than 2 years so on and so forth
knowing him .. probably
Yeah, he seems like that kind of joker
yes .. he's an annoying joker rofl .. he had me trying to figure out a numerical puzzle .. after an hour or so he goes .. oh I was joking rofl
Hahhahah
At least you can do numerical puzzles, math sucks....
theres those number cards on the wall over in s6 headquarters that currently say 2 YEARS 7 MONTHS. every month they lower the month number by 1
rofl yeah ... I've been quoting his last post just in case things have changed .. but nope .. now I have a new post to quote rofl
They probably have the year month and day with a digital clock nearby
When I finish my website I'll probably put a timer on there and adjust it when they post an updated time frame rofl
XD

Thank you, I dont think it works though as I deactivated that top row of buttons for minecraft functions, XD
oh no... lol... I wouldn't ever give up my print screen button. I use it a LOT.
there's a program my son uses, I think it's called "snip"? it allows you to screen shot/crop anything from your monitor.
yeah... "snipping tool" app.
windows key + shift + S = instant snip
best thing ever. lol
I have a similar tool called lightshot, which like your son's app allows you to copy just what you want on screen , saves having to do the whole screen.
Hi all! Had a general question form any folks who have had a chance to poke around in the alpha. how would you describe the game in reference to otehr games you've played?
Good night yall!
I don’t know if anyone is currently online that was in pre alpha and they aren’t able to describe the game they played (I believe) only whether they liked it or not due to the NDA. Several have said they wished they were back in there and that they miss it and that they enjoyed themselves when they were there.
fair enough. i didn't want details specific to the game as much as just games it reminded them of that's a bit mroe than trailers
Ah, well in the team answers there is an in game clip (not long) and there was a pre alpha blog with screen shots.
indeed 🙂 i did check those out and am excited. hopefully i am able to get involved in the next testing phase. never know. looks like i'd like it a lot
Good luck. It will be more in alpha than pre alpha but still considerably less than the number interested so 🤞
i think F2 is in game screenshot? for minecraft and F1 hides the UI
Bye
Palia Peeps shortly off to the land of Nod, enjoy your chatting.
well, I'm also off to sleep. Have a lovely time everyone 
when is this game dropping so i can play it💀
Its less than 3 years ( '2 years and 7 months') from release but Alpha is due between now and June next year ( 'by the first half of next year' ) . Make sure you have signed up for testing and filled in the survey and cross your fingers 🙂
algun argentino
Sigh. All the good games are so far off. Palia, Ashes of Creation
But at least I know the devs are working hard, so I look forward to seeing what they produce
have you been checking the team answers ? They were updated yesterday
how many spots and how many applicants are there?
probably more than the number of people who are members of this server .. so likely more than 108k people. as to how many will be chosen .. I don't know. Pre-Alpha was 1.4k so we know it will be many more than that but no numbers yet.
damn, around 1/100 chance of getting in
but i dont think many people did the survey
yeah its hard to say exactly how many are on the list. We can only go by the people interested in the game and assume they signed up
But then some who signed up may not be discord users or will wait until they need to join
But I've been here since day 2 .. and was amongst the many who didn't get into the pre-alpha
I've been here since Day 1, and did get into the pre-alpha... the chances are low for the early testing phases. But in the end the release we will all share the world together.
We just have to be patient with it
hi Shrew 
Shroo only got in because they are very small - we're talking ounces.
hi Sim 
Good day. tip pixels
How was the pre-alpha?
I'd understand if you can't divulge specifics, but a general feeling would be much appreciated
If this helps you .. this link takes you to where someone talks about missing the pre-alpha ( #💬│palia-discussions message ) no details just their feelings once it was over.
Wait, there was a pre-alpha!?
Yes Gambit there was .. rofl and that link was one of your posts rofl
Heh.
But yeah, I did actually play. I worry I'm doing the "oh god I missed it" joke so much that it's beginning to become what some think
Hello, Gambit. Welcome to the server!
@blissful flax are you there? I have a question
In here I'm smol, out in the real world I'm 6 foot 2.
however you right, I don't weigh much
howdy
Happy Halloween Palians!!
For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Chapaaween I - The Devourer. King Chapaa has got his descendants rooting around the channels finding any morsel of information they can. Tasty morsels have been spotted in #❔│game-faqs, #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels. Slightly more aged but just as useful are the rancid morsels scattered around in the archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. Rin and Vlad, our resident compilers, have documents pinned to this channel and are well worth a spook. Ooooh and don't forget the spooktacular pre-alpha blog accessible from #📢│palia-news. Consuming these morsels before the chapaa's will bring you up to date with what we know about Palia : The Game. All that is left for you to do is hang about with us after signing up for testing and filling in the surveys ( there is safety in numbers right ? ) . Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy being spooked with us.

Almost Halloween!
yep yep yep
I can't wait to hear the stories of all the best place to get candy from for next year!
It is Halloween here in the future!
That means.. tomorrow I get to go back to 
I’ve been mentally preparing for almost a month
Then you can rock and stone!
Well I don’t go home until the 19th I just meant Halloween will be over and I switch pfp xD
Ah, the wistful moment when I tuck the skeleton back under the surface. 😔
Simuel! 
Wait, where'd you get that skeleton?
I mean.. skeletons!
It was an inside job.
As long as it's not made in a crappy plastic factory and is an all-natural home-grown skeleton, it's fine
lovelove kisskiss
lip smack noise
It's very good; always nice to see people getting into the spirit of the season. 👻
Halloween is my favorite season! Uh, holiday!
yeah, I can't believe we're on day 364 of it already.
Chapaaween II - The Hunted is the next one 🙂
Just 365 days until Halloween 2022
Evening Palians ^^
Hello again Talliah!
Aye, heya Talliah!
How was everyone's day? 😄
I bought a ton of candy thinking I would be getting trick or treaters today.... and now I have two bowls full of candy staring at me......
Pretty good. I think
well think I'll skedaddle off to bed now
Aw. Well, goodnight then!
Goodnight Xrystal!
Can you save them for tomorrow’s trick or treaters?
Also I’m good. Trying to think of ways to engage Palia General about Palia =U
Hello all! My name is Nayo, but my friends call me Spider or Spiderbutt. Feel free to use any term. :3 I just learned about Palia recently and I'm super excited to find out more about it! What's your favorite feature in the game so far? I haven't seen much about it so everything will be a delightful surprise to me! Are any of you playing the alpha?
there is a video? Is it on youtube?

Yeah!
Hello, butt! No alpha until sometime next year - the game is still being developed and they haven't released super much. However, there's stuff in #🌠│official-art and #❓│old-team-answers-alpha that you might find interesting.
The customization and design is what excites me the most so far
I'm currently listening to a video about the team answers :D Thanks Skeletons
I am also excited =3 Hopefully they let us pre-alpha testers into the Alpha ^^

Hi there, what state is Palia rn? Alpha?
Pre Alpha
Ah, till when is the pre alpha? I want to play the game but it looks like I have to wait 😭
I'd check the #❔│game-faqs
Pre alpha concluded about a month ago, we got word yesterday about alpha being sometime first half next year
Ahhh
Any thing any time! I still recommend reading the #❔│game-faqs content though there’s a lot of information! And reference to documents containing everything revealed to the public so far
California, I think.
Okay that’s funny
Okay!! 😁 I missed it when I scroll through the channels 😅

oh man I am stoked! This game is going to be so good
Got all the documents in #❔│game-faqs
The blog about pre-alpha in #📢│palia-news
And loads of answers in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha
Easy to miss parts of the whole ^^
Yaa, to bad I found this too late 
Too late? It’s so early ^^
I could've join the pre alpha if I was earlier lol 
It was only 1400 people out of 100.000+ applicants, possible, not likely
You’re on time, don’t worry
I saw a video of Palia and I was like "I have to try this out" then reality strikes me

You can keep the rest of us non testers company for the ride, the real gameplay is making friends in the discord
It is a community simulator after all
The testers are nice too though
Now we just gotta wait patiently I guess 
Yeah. Make some friends so the starting adventure will be fun!

Most important.. have you seen the best thing about it all yet? The chapaas
Not yet o.o I saw the character designs and a bit of gameplay, but no clue of what chapaas is o.o
Chappa are evil and you know it
what is a Chapaa?
Chapaas are my babies and I will protect them with my life

ohhh
These guys
They are cute
These guys
OOOOO
It looks so small and innocent, how can it be evil???
they are super cute

They’re like beaver boar looking creatures with what seems behavior like squirrels and raccoons
So... what you're saying is
Gambit is just upsetti they’re eating all the crops
I should draw them
YES
Yes you should, fanart in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art !
More people drawing chapaas the better
Well now this is evil...in a farming game
give all the vegetables ! 

Don't make me threaten to cook the chappas again
No no it’s okay it’s their crops anyway, like cats, they’re cute so just let them do what they want 
Fancy meeting you here ^^ how you been?
Been pretty normal, I've ended up finding another game to play while waiting on palia
Anything to scratch that itch
Mind to share? 
:O
Let the cute rules the world, I see 😂
New World atm, definitely suggest as your waiting to join a small pop server on it.
fishing sucks but thats why im waiting on Palia
Palia looks like a chill game and you waiting for it by playing new world, a hardcore game 
you see, I'm the type of player to quit a hard game then chill in another
but up
uh
Best kind is to spend the day gaming and when you’re done.. spend the evening relaxing with some gaming
Play hardcore game, drink some coffee, then chill in another game with some bubble tea
Best feeling ever
I've done up a sketch and put it in the community art channel
I must see this finished, that’s a great sketch! We talking color? Grayscale? Sparkles?
I’m excited, so is Cherri 
Is there any good concept art of the chaapaa?
This is Cherri: 
Hi cherri
There is a Pinterest reference page but our images are quite limited atm! There’s a plethora of fanart to use as well if you go back far enough
Ok thanks. I've seen the fanart so far so I've got an idea what I'm drawing
Hold on 2 seconds ill dm you the references I use
I return
welcome back
Aye, thanks!
Welcome back bud ^^
I see you've gotten some new chappa friends

chappa!
bu
eep!
Hello everyone happy Halloween
i love that sticker! so awesome! happy halloween!
good morning pals! 
I hope to work on some more stickers soon too as I have some free time.
Happy Halloween! 
Captain Duck on deck!
Yeah you are limited to basics and those available on the Palia server on the main channel. Other channels may permit the use of outside-server emotes.
Woop! More stickers
Alright everyone! I dropped off a few halloween-themed #🎭│palia-memes to celebrate the holiday. I am off to bed
Good morning everyone!
I just read the pre-alpha blog update and am really looking forward to the rest of the game!
For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Chapaween II - The Hunted. Hassian and Tau have been tasked with chasing down the chapaa that have plagued the channels recently. They will be chasing them down in #❔│game-faqs, #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels. Tau spotted a few braver ones going after the old but useful items in the archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. Thankfully Rin and Vlad's pinned documents are safe from their grubby little claws so still in tip top condition. The spooktacular pre-alpha blog available from #📢│palia-news also escaped their claws. So go ahead and treat yourself to a browse through the aforementioned items to reach the level of knowledge the rest of us have about Palia : The Game. All that is left for you to do is sign up for testing and fill in any surveys and then hopefully you will have the opportunity to see if Hassian will let you pet Tau. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy being spooked with us.

Hi Vitus!
I'm doing pretty good, going to visit grandma today, so it's a good day :D
and you?
sounds fun and cozy!
im just slowly waking up with a cup of tea, but i got no plans today:D
nice nice, tea is always great! well, it's a sunday, so it's ok to be lazy XD
morning mister chair:D
yaeh except im lazy 24/7 xD
I want to play VR soo bad but I can't. Still waiting for PC parts, meh
rip
hope they come soon 
Probably next week. I hope so
oooh
a zombie vr game is free next month on ps+
but ig thats not really usable if you dont own a playstations..
Happy Halloween all!
Oh TWD game, yeah I know, heard its nice
i asked all my questions about various things and i hope at least one gets a response LOL
Happy Halloween 🎃🎈🎃🎈 and good morning!
yuh who wouldnt love massacring zombies
happy halloween even tho i dont celebrate it:)
Families usually don't go out Sunday nights
oh sad
i consider Halloween a American tradition, and here in denmark we have a tradition very similar, but without the spookyness. but sadly that tradition is dying bc of Halloween and the shops use Halloween as an excuse to sell more
It's all good lol, I can take my candy to work and put it on my desk and I'm sure it will magically vanish within a day
Oh that's no good :/
hahahaha
yeah but im at the age where i dont really do trick or treat anymore:)
when will palia be released
less than 2 years and 7 months
in less than 2 years and 7 months
dammit xrystal
I mean same but I like seeing the little ones celebrate it!
yeah its nice to see someone having fun with it and i always give candy even tho i dont celebrate
That's not too long!
true
yeah, mmos take on average 5 to 6 years to develop. They are half way through that time frame and announced during pre-alpha so they get additional testing/feedback earlier in the development cycle than normal
We will get more news and alpha/beta tests! It will fly by before you know it
I think they are fast
I've been here for nearly 5 months .. and it definitely hasn't felt that long rofl
Yuh
For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Chapaween III - The Ghostbusters. Elouise spotted some unusual activity amongst the #❔│game-faqs, #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels. She wasn't quite brave enough to investigate the noises from the archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. Thankfully Rin and Vlad's pinned documents and the spooktacular pre-alpha blog accessible from the #📢│palia-news channel are not affected by these spooky shenanigans. She has drafted Jina to assist her in tracking down the ectobeasts and asked Najuma to use her tinkering skills to create a temporary storage device for them. So, if you are brave enough to join them .. hunt down those spooks amongst the aforementioned channels and gain the knowledge we have about Palia : The Game. Now, despite all this excitement, don't forget to sign up for testing and fill in any surveys and maybe, just maybe you will get to assist Elouise with her mystery hunting. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy being spooked with us.

yep. amazing series, lived up to its name
Yeah that’s league for you

While we appreciate the interesting topics that are being discussed, please feel free to continue them in the #🎮│other-games channel and keep this channel for Palia related topics only. Thanks for understanding! 🦆

hey stranger!!
also, im so exhausted, i just got off work at 9:30. they are tryna kill me
Oof.. hope you get some rest! And just remember, never work yourself to death over a job that’ll replace you in a couple hours if you collapse! - dalai llama or some person on Twitter or something I’m sure idk
hiya Xrystal as well ;P you doing alright?
yea man, not much say when youre in management though haha
Ah well if you’re in management suit yourself ^^ manage away!
You had to pick this one instance where “not my job” doesn’t apply xD
Hey all, is this chat just for folks who are in the Alpha or for anyone?
Any and all who are interested in the game!
Outstanding.
The testers have their own secret channels, very sneaky
They have another secret channel for chatting about non public stuff
love the chapaa in the window
I am so excited for this game. I intend on playing it with my daughter. She's 11 and I have a feeling that this game would be a less toxic atmosphere than, say, WoW.
aww couldn't do a chapaa peek emote on it
Right on time for new art post!
I just hope the RP community is as wholesome as the rest of Palia intends to be
No gross E*p
That is the hope.
It will be what you make it im sure
I censored a letter to emphasise that publically advertising your desire to E*p in a wholesome game like this is ilegal
yes they said they want a comfortable experience for everyone even if they are not targetting children as a customer base.
that's a big bad lmao
I can't wait for this game though
I've been looking for a new game to become invested in ever since i outgrew swtor
That's good to know.
Do we have any ideas on how long testing is going to be?
I was wondering why Amelia was online today 🤣
hi Amelia
at some point after playing a mmo for 10 years you see it change into something you don't like
Pre alpha concluded about a month ago and last Friday we got news about alpha taking place first half next year
That happened to me with WoW.
The timeline for release is less than 3 years
Pre Alpha was several weeks long (from start and end announcements that is ).. Alpha, don't know how long, could be longer though
That’s all we got to go on atm as it’s very early in development
So a chance at us who await the possibility of getting in on a test?
Pre alpha was 1400 people out of 100k applicants, there’s a chance but a small one. We got confirmation alpha will take in more people
I hope i can play the alpha if only to give feedback and be a part of the game's development
Yeah, me too. I've always wanted to get into an Alpha.
I rarely get a chance to personally give my ideas to devs
Alpha will still be closed and not available to everyone
You can give your ideas now in #game-suggestions they got a lot of good ideas from there
Good afternoon people :D hope y'all have a great day
Yeah, I figured. Still, the possibility is great.
Rosskow my buddy! Happy Halloween!
well even if not in any test runs you can still .... what Berry said 🤣 .. I've posted several ideas of my own there
Hi, Rosskow. New guy here.
👀
Ana! 
Hey there Berry! Happy Halloween to you too!
Hi Berry!
How you both doing?
Doing good, about to make lunch, my brother is coming to visit
Procrastinating
You?
I forgot to say the most important thing.. welcome to the family!
Hey Chex,welcome!
Thanks! I appreciate the welcome.
It's sometimes a little intimidating joining an established community.
Welcome to Palia's Chaos server. Where we are all crazy while we wait for the game
hello new friend!
Officially not procrastinating as I am on vacation! But I too am doing nothing 
ANAKERIOO I MISSED U
Chair!!! I missed you too!!
Chair! 
@surreal crest hey!
yeah, no pressure in joining in .. and sometimes it can get hectic in here so don't worry if you can't keep up with scrolling chat ... you can lurk (
) until you feel up to joining in 🙂
It’s understandable, most of us only known eachother for a couple months so it’s not year long friendships but everyone is very wholesome and welcoming so it grows quite quick into a little family 
Well, I intend on being an active member. Here's hoping.
@pallid igloo hey, can i speak you for a moment
You’ll be welcome to join in any and all conversations!
Hello, frens. Good morn
Morning!
Yay more people. This discord is basically its own country by now
Medium size city
god I ate so much McDonald's
Country lead by chaos 
Yep 😂
We like chaos 
we do outnumber the citizens of the Vatican City over 10/1, we could take 'em
Duly noted.. 
You might want to send her a private message so she can respond when she is able to. If you're not already that is 🙂
maybe more like more than 100/1 .. - Vatican City Population 825 (2019) -
By the Pope, what are you suggesting?
That you should be the new seat of power in the city
"don't ask why there's additional chair in the room, just take another one"
Our Trojan chair
Trojan Chair should be immortalized
I'll take care of the pope. You need to confuse the fancy guards
Let the bees, chapaas and invite wave chaos confuse the guards
show 'em the alpha key
“It’s okay, I have an all access pass” holds up alpha key
heyyaa new member here
how's everyone doing?
Doing great thank you! How about yourself? Welcome to the waiting party!
Ahhhh! The little pumpkins in the official art was so cute!
@sand barn hey buddy! There’s a chapaa in the window looking at your pie!
starts drafting decor designs!
My favorite part of the gif is the chapaa 
Hey there @somber helm ^^ welcome to the community!
XD I saw that, the chapaa's are adorable
Yes they are 
aweee doing pretty good myself
trying to balance work and uni
but so far so good!
🙂 You got this 😉
If we ever get a chapaa pushed up against a window I’m claiming that as MY chapaa
XD
It’s a hard balance but I believe! I’ll be balancing the same in a couple months
Awwwe, I wonder if we'll be able to make in game Plushies like in other games 😮 That would be cute to have a couple plush chapaa's stashed around the house in cute peak-a-boo spots!
I wish you best of luck then!!
And to you fellow academic!
Great now I want a Chapaa plushie
math is not my strong suit
I’m waiting for the Palia merch to buy the plushies and pillow covers
einar bodypillow when
Hello new friend!
You know that shark puppy thing? That but as Grumpy fish. But also kinda looks like a pug I guess 🤔
I want a chapaa plushie, pillow, shirt, jacket, hat, onesie, poseable statue.. I’ll add more when I think of anything that can be chapaafied
Aaaaah! The pumpkins and the little chapaa at the window! So cute! :3
Fair! 
hello Mr/Mrs Chair how's your day going?
I have never head of that until you mentioned in... and now I'm in love with Shark puppy. omg so cute.
Mr,
Im good, reading some SCPs and chilling
The cuteness has spread to more people. Yay :)
Spread all the cute! 
Wait wouldn't it be Ms. You know, Mystic.... Mys.... Ms....
that's cool definitely a pretty cozy time
Berry! 
Ana has a point
or should I say... BOOberry??? :DD
Ms Chair is currently chilling at her own place B)
Can call me anything as long as everyone knows it’s about me, that’s all my ego wants
Berry said with only a half amount of sarcasm
throw in a few ego deflating comments though.. to balance things out 🤣
Oh no did I forget to switch account to Simuel? Whoops
Okie!
Lord BOO Berry :3
My pieeeee


I hope everyone is having a very spooky Halloween?
You mean.. the chapaa’s pie?
Ah I see Im not the only one with alt account. Last time I learned that I am also Gambit
No! 
But.. what if it was one of my chapaas?
ohh my my, Chapaa's Nuggets
STOP EATING MY CHAPAAS
NEVER
The sanctuary will be contacting you about this offense!
I kinda want a pet sernuk tho...
Its fine, Im with the Pond Patrol.
